Each year, the Department invites a distinguished mathematician to deliver a series of three lectures and participate for a week in department life.  Support for the visit is from a departmental endowment in the name of Wendell Alfred Milliman, founder of one of the largest actuarial firms in the country.  This year, our speaker will be Martin Hairer FRS.  Hairer is the Chair in Probability and Stochastic Analysis at Imperial College London.  He holds numerous honors among which include the Fields Medal, the Fermat Prize, and the Fröhlich Prize of the London Mathematical Society.  His first talk, titled "Bridging scales: from microscopic dynamics to macroscopic laws," will be held on Monday, October 30th, at 4pm in Miller 301.  His subsequent talks will be on October 31st (Sieg 134) and November 1st (Smith 211).
